In the midst of The Pirate Bay vs. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) legal goings-on, Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde has asked that supporters stop hacking anti-piracy websites, saying, “Our case is going quite well as most of you have noticed. In the light of that it feels very bad that people are hacking web sites which actually puts us in a worse light than we need to be in.”

Yesterday, the IFPI website was hacked and the following message was left on the front page:

Stop lying HÅKAN ROSWALL!:

The ruthless hunt conducted by the IFPI, Anti-Piracy Office, Warner Bros., and all the other companies with a pawn in the game has now resulted in a trial in which four innocent men are accused of copyright infringement. This is a declaration of war against anti-piracy outfits and the industry players behind them, and we urge the public to boycott and lynch those responsible. IFPI is just the beginning. To be Continued.

Half the charges against The Pirate Bay have already been dropped, with today marking the fourth day of the trial. “If anyone involved in the acts going on is reading this – please stop, for our sake. We don’t need that kind of support,” says Sunde.
